That night, Zhou Sinian did not return until late.
It wasn't until midnight that his text message finally arrived.
"Zheng, there's still unfinished business at the company. Go to bed early. I'll pick you up at 8 AM sharp tomorrow to watch the concert."
Looking at this message, I didn't reply.
Because at six in the morning, I would be completely taken away from this world by the System.
And tonight, I am destined to be sleepless.
At three in the morning, the System excluded all unrelated personnel around the villa.
At five, the System spread the gasoline that had been prepared in advance around the entire villa, ensuring every place was covered.
At six in the morning, under the control of the System, the curtains fell directly, and a flickering flame appeared out of nowhere not far in front of me.
I knew I was about to leave.
"Host, are you sure you want to end the strategy?"
At this moment, the voice of the System rang out for the last time.
Looking at the flames in front of me, I replied without any hesitation, "Yes!"
The next moment, the flames suddenly ignited the curtains, and immediately, the whole room was devoured by the fire.
On the other side, at the company where Zhou Sinian had slept the night, his phone started ringing before long.
It was an alarm set the night before.
Picking up the phone, he sent me a message.
"I bought breakfast, I'll be home to pick you up soon."
In the past, I would respond to his messages instantly.
But this time, what he received was not my reply, but a call from the police.
"Is this Mr. Zhou? Your loved one is trapped at home in a fire, and only a piece of burnt clothing remains at the scene. Please return as soon as possible."
